Getting Started

Recommendation I would recommend this product to children and young adults. It is a quick and easy way to communicate. It is a great design for students who might not have full use of their hands. It is easy to understand with pictures and words to distinguish the exact phrase. Although expensive, the Tango would make life a lot easier for students with communicative problems
